That antichrist thing again

[dianeduane]

This came up the other day. Now I see that Mark Evanier has had an email about it too.

But then Mark does one of the things he does best and asks the next question.

Besides, isn't the antichrist a necessary component to the whole end-times thing where all the elect are offered a lift on that elevator to Heaven whilst the rest of us sinners wallow in our own shame and have lots of fun parties? I thought your average born-again Christian was all for bringing on that sort of thing?

Yeah, I've been wondering if this will backfire for that reason. These are people who support Israel for the soul purpose of bringing about the end-times, after all.

And if/when the Rapture actually happens...what'll they do if they don't find themselves exclusively and utterly in the ranks of the Elect?

Only according to premillennial dispensationalist eschatology. There are a LOT of other views on the End Times and the Second Coming than those popularized by American Evangelicals. And some of them actually have Biblical basis. Take THAT, premillennial dispensationalism!
